le tired

Sorry I've been MIA on the blog for the past few days. Here's a recap.

Friday: After leaving work at lunch time, I had an appt at Clinique to have my makeup done because I was buying new foundation, etc. I love having other people do my makeup..it always looks much better than when I try! I shopped around a little at the mall & went to Old Navy, which had NONE of the cute things I saw online in the store. So disappointing, but probably a good thing because I shouldn't be spending money on clothes I don't need. I waited in line to get gas for $3.59/gal, and luckily I was able to fill up before everywhere started ridiculously jacking up prices above $4. The rest of the day consisted of being lazy, eating dinner and going to the The Women with Sara. Really good movie, lots of famous ladies in it. I recommend it, but its definitely a girls only kind of film:)

Saturday: Got up, went to my grandpa's house to start cleaning out some of the junk now that he has moved to the assisted living place. Its going to be quite an ordeal getting that place emptied out! Went back home to get ready for a bridal shower. The shower was really fun--in a gorgeous house in North Raleigh, lots of ladies sitting around chatting and eating pretty finger foods. Kim got some really great stuff for the new house too! That night I finally went over to Sara's for our long-planned sleepover. We went out to dinner and spent the night watching the Coco Chanel lifetime movie and wishing that we had a Chanel wardrobe.

Sunday: We caught up on plenty of girl chatting/venting/complaining, which is necessary sometimes. We also managed to learn how to use my dad's power drill to put up Sara's new curtains in her guest room. This was obviously a thrill! I went home later in the afternoon and went to my grandparent's house for dinner that night--yummy as usual.

Monday: Didn't go into the office because I had an interview in Virginia for the job I phone-interviewed for last week. Drove up in the morning with my parents, went downtown to try and find an apartment guide, had lunch, rode by a couple of (crappy) apartments, then had an interview at the bank's corporate headquarters. Everyone was really nice--a woman prayed with me in the elevator on the way to my interview hah!--and I think it went well. Then she sent me to a branch location for another interview that lasted almost 2 hours. Obscene. To me, this was complete overkill, especially for a job that isn't going to pay me that much in the first place! But I made it through finally, and was completely exhausted at the end of the day. We started home, went to Cracker Barrel on the way, and finally got back around 10 last night. Long day, but hopefully worthwhile in the end.

Needless to say today i'm exhausted and am planning on going to bed at 9 pm! I've got a few errands to run after work, but if its pouring rain like it is right now, i'll probably (thankfully) go straight home. At least Tuesday is almost over yay!
